Sometimes I Forget

C			   F			   C
I still remember where you stood, a page out of my memory.
There’s no harm done in that, I guess,
                                  G
     but jaw dropped I looked your way.
	F		      G 	  C		   F
You smiled and asked, “What’s wrong?”, returning to me my breath.
C		    F			G		   C
My mind came slowly back and this was all I could think to say.    

Chorus
  F	      G
I did not forget
C		    F
It had just been a while
C        G/B     Am
I never got used to
     F		     G
Your eyes and your smile
C	  G/B     Am
It seemed like 30 years
Am         Am/G   F
And not as many days
     C	    G/B	       Am
Well have I missed you yet?
F	  G    C
Sometimes I forget    

I still remember how I was, picking up the pieces.
You laughed that laugh that took me back and shattered my world again.
I guess I should have known how seeing you like this
would wash away all the work I’d done; I’d feel how I felt back then.    

C		F		G		   Am
F		G		F		  G    

I still remember how I felt the day you sent me reeling.
You smiled and you drove away with the heart you took from me.
I didn’t sleep at all, I was sure that I could call.
Now it’s clear that I’m just another one of your broken memories.    

I will not forget, even though it may be a while.
I never got used to your eyes and your smile.
Even after 30 years I’ll still be counting days.
Have I missed you yet? Sometimes I forget    

You know, sometimes I forget.
